Five students equally share 1/2 of a pizza. How much of a whole pizza did each student eat
(1/2)/5 = (1/2) * (1/5) = 1/10
Chad went to the shop to buy some chips and fresh cherry fruit shake. But he bought 48 chocolate bars instead to share with his 6 friends. How many chocolate bars each of his friend will receive?
To determine how much of a whole pizza each student ate, we need to divide the amount they shared (1/2 of a pizza) by the number of students (5).
1/2 of a pizza ÷ 5 students = (1/2) ÷ 5
To simplify the calculation, we can convert the fractions to decimals:
1/2 = 0.5
Now we divide:
0.5 ÷ 5 = 0.1
Therefore, each student ate 0.1 (or 1/10) of a whole pizza.
To find out how much of a whole pizza each student ate, we need to divide the half of the pizza equally among the five students.
Step 1: Start with half of a pizza, which is 1/2.
Step 2: Divide this half among the five students.
To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number. In this case, we divide 1/2 by 5.
Reciprocal of 5 is 1/5, so we multiply 1/2 by 1/5:
1/2 * 1/5 = 1/10.
Therefore, each student ate 1/10 of a whole pizza.
